Critical Psychology
D HOOK, N MKHIZE, A COLLINS, P KIGUWA, E BURMAN & I PARKER (EDITORS)
Critical Psychology is an approach rather than a theory, an orientation towards psychological knowledge and practice, and to relations of power in general. It is an orientation that cuts across the various sub-disciplines in psychology, and is made up of diverse theoretical perspectives and forms of practice. This book is also a response to the need to rethink a more politically aware and participant psychology in South Africa; it hence features focus chapters on racism, community development, HIV/Aids and participatory action forms of research.
SUITABLE FOR
Undergraduate and postgraduate students of critical psychology, lecturers and practitioners
Developmental Psychology
J WATTS, K COCKCROFT & N DUNCAN (EDITORS)
Developmental Psychology provides a theory-driven approach to understanding human development from two perspectives – the psychoanalytic and the cognitive. These two perspectives, which form the first two sections of the book, complement one another. The third section of the book brings together thoughts on the South African context and the impact it has on development.
